                                     iv.  Provide the name and telephone contact number for the Buildings and Grounds
                                         Supervisor or other school personnel responsible for the pesticide program.

                       Prior notice is not required if an imminent threat to health or property exists. If such a situation arises,
                       the Building and Grounds Supervisor must sign a statement describing the circumstances that gave
                       rise to the health threat and ensure that written notice is provided as soon as practicable.
                       The Buildings and Grounds Supervisor is responsible for the District’s integrated pest management
                       program and the District’s compliance with the Structural Pest Control Act. 225 ILCS 235/.
                                  Applicable if the  Superintendent  determines  that  an  integrated  pest  management
                                 program is economically feasible:
                                 The  Buildings  and  Grounds  Supervisor  or  designee  shall:  (1)  develop  and
                                 implement  a  program  incorporating  the  Department  of  Public  Health  guidelines;
                                 (2) notify the Department, on forms provided by the Department, that a program is
                                 being  implemented;  (3)  repeat  the  notification  every  five  years  after  the  initial
                                 notification; and (4) keep copies of all notifications and all written integrated pest
                                 management program plans.
                                  Applicable  if  the  Superintendent  determines  that  adopting  an  integrated  pest
                                 management program is not economically feasible because such adoption would
                                 result in an increase in pest control costs:
                                 The  Buildings  and  Grounds  Supervisor  or  designee  shall:  (1)  notify  the
                                 Department,  on  forms  provided  by  the  Department,  that  the  development  and
                                 implementation  of  an  integrated  pest  management  program  is  not  economically
                                 feasible; (2) include in the notification the projected pest control costs for the term
                                 of the pest control program and projected costs for implementing a program for that
                                 same  time  period;  (3)  repeat  this  notification  every  five  years  after  the  initial
                                 notification  until  a  program  is  developed  and  implemented;  and  (4)  attend  a
                                 training course, approved by the Department, on integrated pest management and
                                 repeat  attendance  every  five  years  thereafter  until  a  program  is  developed  and
                                 implemented in the District’s schools.
                       The Buildings and Grounds Supervisor or designee shall maintain copies of all notifications that are
                       required  by  the  Structural  Pest  Control  Act  and  provide  the  Building  Principal(s)  or  designee(s)
                       sufficient information to allow him/her/them to inform all parents/guardians and school employees at
                       least once each school year that the District has met its notification requirements.

                       Training and Necessary Equipment
                       Each Building Principal and noncertificated staff supervisor shall ensure that all staff members under
                       his or her supervision receive training on the safe handling and use of hazardous materials as required
                       by 105 ILCS 5/10-20.17a. Emergency response and evacuation plans must be a part of the training.

                       Before  an  employee  is  given  an  assignment  where  contact  with  blood  or  bodily  fluids  or  other
                       hazardous material is likely, the employee must be provided the necessary training, including training
                       in  the  universal  precautions  and  other  infection  control  measures  to  prevent  the  transmission  of
                       communicable diseases and/or to reduce potential health hazards as required by 23 Ill.Admin.Code
